Okay first off, I highly highly recommend not reading the manga past volume 4/chapter 24 or sticking to the anime. It goes off into a completely different direction and for the worse. Way worse.

With that out of the way, onto the meat of the series. It's adorable, fun, and balances perfectly the real struggles and positives of raising a kid without becoming cynical nor overly sweet. The problems they face are ones everybody can relate to like starting school or coming down with the flu. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your face with every episode.

The Usagi Drop anime is a heart-warming pastel-colored interpretation of some surprisingly mature and melancholy themes. That sets it apart from most slice of life animes, but it remains thoroughly adorable and funny.
